Ok that is good information to know that Office 2003 works on Windows 8. But can you check if Windows Update on Windows 8 works correctly ? Because some web sites report windows Update problems due to Office 2003 on Windows 8.

This caused a few problems:
1- Hotkeys stopped working,
2- Office-2003 kept requesting the EULA to be accepted, on EVERY opening
3- Project-2000 works fine with no issues

Even though there were EULA issues, the programs still worked. After I installed and ran "FileFormatConverters.exe" to convert 2010 files to Office2003, the EULA issue ceased for Word but continued for Outlook, Excel and Power Point.

Runtime Error keeps appearing after I upgraded it to SP3 (no error appeared during installation); works perfectly fine if I don't upgrade OFFICE 2003 to SP3 version.

But Windows Update always upgrades OFFICE 2003 to SP3 version (haven't figured out the way to cancel that upgrade); I have deleted OFFICE 2003 so can't tell you guys the exact name of the runtime error~ sorry~~

I installed office 2003 (with Access and Outlook) a few days ago on my new notebook which came with win8/64 preinstalled. Downloaded all available updates. So far I don't have any issues at all.
In fact, on this small not very powerful computer I prefer it to office2010 (which I have on another machine), as it is much faster, especially Word.
